It looks like we have some shared interests! Check out these posts and let me know what you think. http://deistneurobiology.wordpress.com/ I too am interested in knowing about the brain and how it creates what we see, in particular the god experience.

I meant God has put this 'somenthing', Ryan was after, into us and it remains in us. It may be part of God or a mystery, like 'God' itself is, depending on your belief. No, this was not the idea.

If I am present to it I'd be crying/emoting all the time! Aren’t you moved to tears realizing this? If I am present to it I’d be crying/emoting all the time!

There are thoughts that fire in coherent patterns. The brain strings these thoughts together into a story. Just like watching a movie which is actually individual pictures played at 20 frames per second that create the illusion of a coherent story in time, the brain is doing the same thing. Putting together bits of information that create the story of me, the experience I am having in this moment, thinking what I'm going to write, the feeling of my fingers touching the keypad... the experience of "me" in this moment. This appearence is essentially empty. Have you heard of Indra's net of jewels? Every jewel is shining like the stars in the sky but each one is a reflecting the light of every other. A paradox. A beautiful mystery. There is an experience of mind, of me, which is seen by... what? Who is looking? Who is observing the dance of the universe? You say what is looking was left by God. Can you explain? How do you know? For me, If I'm really honest with myself, I can't tell any stories about the origin of the universe. All I know is this mysterious, amazing, miraculous inconceivable moment arising in consciousness. So… here’s as close as I can come to articulating the indescribable… when I look for a “self,” a “me,” I can’t find one. There are thoughts that fire in coherent patterns.

Then we are still separate from God? What do you mean “left”? Then we are still separate from God?
